(9/01) GREAT SUCCESS!!! A trip to Ace Hardware inspired me to use zip ties to secure the LED light to the very top of the tent, as close to the crossbars as possible. Luckily, there was an extra bar included w/ tent, so I was able to secure two of the light attachments to one bar and the third to the other as the hanging attachments were in a triangular design. I could feel my inner Macgyver tear through my own body screaming at the Ace checkout lady. BONUS: I also discovered that there is indeed a way to create shorter hanging wires for the LED light. Hardware stores have the wire and, more importantly, the tiny loop-close attachments that have to be sledge hammered on to the wires; an employee can do this for you! In summary, my grow was saved this week through some hard sought knowledge and ingenuity.
Ran out of Great White root powder and went to pick up more at the hydro store, but they were out. They had Plant Success Orca (basically the liquid form of Great White). Grabbed a bottle and only got to use it twice before I started flushing, but am looking forward to using it for next grow.
Both plants are recovering from their 2 week nightmare of light burn hell. I think I may have stunted Furiosa's bud development slightly, but she looks like she's bouncing back. Gave them a few days outside in the sun to help boost their healing w/ some solar love.
LESSON LEARNED: Started to flush at the tail end of this week, but kept feeding both plants the above nutes in all waterings prior. Proper flushing takes about 10 days, and while I think I am still close to the sweet spot of flush to harvest, I think I could have started the flush at the beginning of this week.
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?
Hello. The technique you will want to look in to is Super Cropping. Where you take the tallest branches and bend them over so you have a 90 degree angle. Please look for a diary with this technique or ask Mr. Google. Good Luck. Chuck.
Been flushing for 11 days, still seeing brown cloudy water in one plant very near harvest. Watering daily 1L spring water; about 500-700 ml drainage. Increased to 2L, not seeing improvement in water quality. How long should wait to harvest/continue flushing? Tactics/tips, please!
The water doesn't change to clear my friend and a good 7-day flush should do the trick, and judging from your diary the Auto Lowryder is done, the hairs are no longer white and they're receding back into the bud and those trichomes should be milky too HARVEST TIME!!! Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
I grew this variety a couple of years back outside. It’s tougher than you think. Mine survived a hail storm and a tornado. Not as tall or lanky as yours, but she turned out to be some good smoke.
Hi, Flushing is a modern Myth, dont let your Girl starve, feeding until final Day arrived brings you good harvest, and happy Plant.
Nutrients and chlorophyll breaks down while curing
cheers and happy growing
I hope i did not make it to sour for you
@Mrs_Larimar, flushing works as you can see from the taste of the weed. what this experiment proves is that the theory about the nutrients and the flush is not correct, but it does not change the observation that the taste is better. So if you have an observation that is different to your theory, you can throw away your theory or you can throw away your observation. i prefer to throw away the theory, but again, it doesnt change the taste that you experience, we just need to find a new reason for the taste to be changed (for the better) by flushing. get it? 🚀
